Il s'agit là [de] propulseurs dits chimiques. Leur principe est simple. Un carburant [...] est brûlé dans une chambre de combustion. Le gaz chaud résultant est alors évacué par une tuyère en forme de V dans laquelle il acquière une grande vitesse. L'éjection de ce gaz génère la force qui propulse le véhicule.
